"Senior, have you read that article?" Butler came in and asked Xu Yong during training the next day.

"What?"

"I want to go home."

Xu Yong shook his head.

Butler then took out his cell phone, flipped to the article by James and handed it to him.

Xu Yong looked at it for a while and couldn't help laughing.

"A very affectionate article," he went on to comment.

"Yes, to be honest, if it wasn't written by LeBron, I would have been moved." Butler nodded.

"When looking at a person, don't look at what he says, but look at what he does," Xu Yong said.

“Like those politicians?”

"This metaphor is very vivid." Xu Yong nodded in agreement. Butler has quite a sense of black humor.

But it is true. If the Cavaliers had not traded Wiggins for Love, and then James returned to the Cavaliers, then this article would indeed be somewhat touching, as Butler said (although not much, after all, Irving and Davis have grown up).

But now, you waited until Love was traded before publishing such an article, and there was no mention of Love in it. This is obviously an excuse for yourself to form a group again.

Or to use a very vivid word to describe it: being a whore but still trying to build a chastity arch for herself.

Of course, just like the Miami fans when the Big Three formed a team at their peak, Cleveland fans will put up this memorial themselves.

After all, the Cavaliers have not made the playoffs in the past two years, and now they have suddenly become a favorite to win the championship. How could they not be happy?

Xu Yong casually flipped through social media and saw that many Cleveland fans had already started celebrating.

The most popular video was shot by a kid who dug out the jersey he had buried four years ago from the corner of the backyard wall, put it back on, and did James' signature magnesium powder throwing action.

The fans don’t know why the jersey this kid wore four years ago fits him perfectly now, but they are just touched.

Adams also arrived at this time, and the three of them quickly started training.

And today they were particularly energetic during training.

After all, who wouldn’t want to beat the fabled Big Four?

After training that day, he returned to the manor and someone came to visit him.

The person who came had been in contact with Schwartz before and was from Warner Bros.

"We are planning to launch Space Jam 2 and would like to invite you to star in it, of course as the lead actor."

Space Jam?

Xu Yong was a little surprised.

There are actually quite a few basketball-themed movies. "Coach Carter", "Paths of Glory", "Jordan's Legacy", and "The Coach" all have good reputations. There are also "Single" (Ray Allen), "Thunderball" (Durant), etc., starring active players.

But when it comes to box office, it still has to be "Space Jam".

It's not that this movie is so good. This movie, which combines real people and animated characters, is actually considered a bad movie in the eyes of many professional film critics. But because it stars Jordan as the leading actor, it naturally became the highest-grossing basketball movie of all time, reaching $230 million.

You have to know that was in 1995, and it finally ranked ninth in the global box office in 1996, making Warner a lot of money.

There was no way, Jordan's global influence at that time was simply too great.

In Xu Yong's previous life, James continued to film "Space Jam 2" in 2021, which ended with a total box office of 144 million yuan and Warner's loss of 250 million yuan.

The sequel to this movie could easily become a poor imitation because of Jordan's excellent performance.

After all, who is qualified to make a sequel for Jordan? James was just licking his face at the beginning, but ended up with a mess.

But now Warner has taken the initiative to find Xu Yong, obviously thinking that he is qualified.

This is normal. Jordan hadn't won his first championship when he was 25 years old, but Xu Yong already has 2 championships, 2 MVPs and 2 FMVPs.

"I have to train this summer, so I don't think I'll have the time." Xu Yong replied after thinking for a while.

He is not so resistant to making this movie. After all, he has influence now, and with the support of the rising Chinese film market, it is basically a sure win for him to make a profit.

Being able to excel in both literature and sports is also a way to give back to the fans who support him.

Not to mention that this is tantamount to taking other people's paths and leaving them with no way to go.

But it is just like he said, with the loss of last season and the formation of the Big Four of the Cavaliers, he needs to concentrate on training, and even if the filming time is not long, it will definitely be delayed.

"Don't worry about that. We will build an indoor court next to the film studio, so it won't interfere with your training."

Xu Yong was even more surprised when he heard this.

Building a stadium for a movie? Is there such a thing?

"And we will also invite other stars to participate, so I think we can even have full-court competition training at that time." The other party continued to add.

Xu Yong couldn't help laughing when he heard this. It was obvious that he came prepared.

However, Warner had shown his sincerity, and he would feel embarrassed to refuse, so he agreed immediately.

The two sides discussed the specific shooting time of the film. Warner had already designed the script and Xu Yong did not raise any objections.

After all, he doesn't really understand this stuff, and fans of this kind of movie don't go to see the movie for the sake of you, but for the person.

After seeing off Warner's people, Xu Yong lit a cigar and browsed social media.

The Bulls have just made another signing.

They signed James Johnson back with a two-year, $5 million contract.

Johnson's playing style has gradually become fixed in the Grizzlies over the years, from a swingman to a power forward.

The Bulls signed him primarily to replace the departed Chris Andersen, who was signed by the Grizzlies for 2 years and $10 million.

As for the secondary one, it is to add the role of "thug" to the team.

Whenever the Bulls encountered conflicts last season, Butler and Xu Yong had to appear in person, which was obviously not cost-effective.

Now that the NBA has signed back this GOAT of fighting, others will have to think twice before they want to fight against the Bulls.

Then he saw another breaking news.

Danny Granger signed a two-year, $6 million mini-mid-level contract with the Pacers.

Granger had surgery in the summer and was not expected to return until December. Not only was he abandoned by the Heat, but he also had no good market in the free market. Unexpectedly, he was signed back by the Pacers.

James and the Pacers are now at loggerheads, and Bird signed Granger, who was abandoned by James. It would be exciting to think about them meeting on the court.

I just don't know to what level Granger can recover. In history, he was useless after being padded, but the current situation is a little different from that time.

After browsing social media, he put down his phone and prepared to take a break.

The phone vibrated as soon as I put it on the table.

He picked it up and took a look. It was a text message from Artest, asking him if he was free.

He called back directly.

The call was quickly picked up.

After some reminiscing, Artest stated his purpose.

He wanted Xu Yong to help him find a job.

"If you don't help me, I might have to go to the CBA."

Although it was said in a joking tone, one could definitely feel the sadness in his words.

He originally signed a two-year contract with the Knicks with a player option for the second year. However, due to a knee injury and poor form last season, he was cut by the Knicks in January. He has been unemployed since then and no one is interested in him this summer.

“You come to Chicago first.”

After Xu Yong gave his reply, he hung up the phone and leaned back in his chair to continue smoking his cigar.

Given his current position in the team and his relationship with Foreman, if he really wants to sign someone, he can do it.

However, he did not want to directly interfere with the management's decision. This was also the reason why he only mentioned Jokic when chatting with Battier during the draft, but did not call Foreman directly.

Including when Butler and Adams were drafted, it was Forman who found him and he gave his opinion. It was up to Forman to decide whether to choose him or not. For example, he wanted to say Antetokounmpo at first, but Forman finally chose Adams.

He was somewhat influenced by Jordan in this regard. Jerry Krause, the general manager of the Bulls who had a fierce relationship with Jordan, personally admitted that Jordan had never asked him who to select or who to trade.

Because Jordan is the kind of person who doesn't think he has to rely on others to win.

However, Artest's situation is rather special. He is a former teammate, and they had a good relationship because of Yao Ming, so he has to be helped if possible.

But he also has to look at Artest's condition. If he really can't play in the NBA and still signs him, it would be a pure act of harming the team.

Two days later, Xu Yong met Artest at the United Center.

Artest shaved his entire face, including his hair, clean, and looked like he had returned to his youthful appearance when he first entered the league. However, his bloated body and haggard face betrayed him. New York is indeed a decadent city.

Speaking of which, he is only 35 years old this year. You should know that Rodman was only 34 years old when he joined the Bulls.

"Let's stay and train together first." Xu Yong said. Artest couldn't help the Bulls in this condition.

Artest hesitated and nodded. Although Xu Yong did not agree to him directly, this was his only chance.

…

A week later.

Foreman showed up at the stadium.

Today is the signing day for new players, but he arrived at the stadium an hour early and went to the training hall first.

Then, he observed the training inside without anyone else knowing.

When the people inside noticed him, he walked forward with a smile.

"Ron, do you have a contract now?" Because there was still the matter of signing a contract later, Foreman hurried to get straight to the point.

When Artest saw Foreman, he knew it was Xu Yong who brought him here, so he immediately shook his head when he heard this.

"The Bulls can offer you a one-year guaranteed contract, but with a minimum salary. Are you willing to come back?" Foreman continued.

Artest nodded happily after hearing this. He originally thought that Xu Yong could at most get him an unsecured contract, but he didn't expect it to be a guaranteed one.

"Come to the office in half an hour and sign the contract with everyone else." Foreman was helping Artest save his agent's money.

When Foreman left, Xu Yong followed him out.

"Ron looks average?" Foreman turned around and asked when they reached the door.

A week cannot change too many things. Artest is still as bloated as ever. He was just giving face to Xu Yong.

"After this week, I can feel that he still has gas in the tank, his attitude is positive, and..." Xu Yong paused, "Ron was also the hero of the two consecutive championships that year."

When Foreman heard this, he didn't say much. He just nodded, reminded the patient to take care of his health due to the recent flu, and then went back to his own work.

An hour later, the training hall became very lively.

After Artest, James Johnson, Miller Sr. and Kyle Anderson signed their contracts, they knew Xu Yong was in the training hall and came over to say hello.

Without Jokic, as Xu Yong knew before, Jokic is still [Bucket of Centennial Mountain] and cannot play in the NBA. However, the Bulls have sent a trainer over. Jokic's main goal this year is to lose weight in Serbia and then strive to enter the NBA next season.

Xu Yong was attracted to Johnson at first sight. This guy has changed a lot in four years.

His body has become much stronger than before, and with his long beard, from a distance it looks like three big words: Don't mess with me.

Although, he still looks so harmless when he smiles.

When he saw Xu Yong, he opened his arms and gave Xu Yong a big, strong hug.

Xu Yong also smiled and patted him on the back.

As rookies selected by the Bulls together, their relationship is somewhat special.

Anderson was very excited when he saw Xu Yong, not only because of Xu Yong's status in the league, but also because of the blood relationship that spanned several generations.

Seeing his expression, Xu Yong took the initiative to shake hands with him.

This excited Anderson: "I'm not washing my hands today."

After hearing this, Xu Yong was stunned for a moment, then he laughed. This little guy is quite cute.

After a brief greeting, Artest, Johnson, and Anderson were all ready to join the training camp.

Originally there were only three of them, Xu Yong and others, but now it has expanded to six people. With a few more people added, it feels a bit like a mini training camp.

Xu Yong was naturally happy to see such a result.

The more teammates practice in the summer, the faster the Bulls will get into shape in the new season.

A few days later, Ross heard the news and came over.

He is also plagued by injuries, but his current physical shape is much better than Artest and is completely in the same condition as before the injury.

Although he could not play in the game, he has been working hard to recover since being successfully guided by Xu Yong.

He also cut his hair back to the crew cut that was most familiar to him in his early years, and shaved his beard cleanly, looking very energetic.

During training, Xu Yong also felt the changes in his playing style.

This time, it seems that the rose is really going to bloom again.

…

Time flies and it is the end of July. Xu Yong temporarily left Chicago and went to Los Angeles to shoot "Space Jam 2".

Here, he met the other stars that Warner had mentioned before, and the scene was a little bigger.

Iverson, Carter, McGrady, Kobe, Durant, Harden, Curry, Leonard...even Jordan.

Although most of these are just cameos, Warner's ambitions are all reflected in this list.

This gives people the feeling that if you put a bunch of marinade ingredients, even if you braise a pair of slippers, it will taste quite delicious.

And the script of this 2nd part is actually not bad, at least much better than the one that Xu Yong knows about James saving his son.

The script of "The Legend of the God of Basketball" is connected with that of "The Legend of the God of Basketball". Jordan retired for the second time, and the legend of the God of Basketball is no longer there. The basketball world on Earth is ruled by four great shooting guards. In order to prevent the amusement park from closing down, the boss of Monster Planet personally went out this time, and seized the abilities of the four great shooting guards in advance, and sent out invitations for basketball games.

Without the four shooting guards, the Earth team was defeated and Bugs Bunny and others were kidnapped.

The boss of Monster Planet was also very arrogant. Before leaving, he made a harsh statement that if the Earth team still had the confidence to challenge them one day, he would accept the challenge again.

However, as the four major shooting guards lost their abilities, the Earth's basketball level began to decline significantly, let alone challenges. Experts predicted that not only would the Warner Animation era end, but Earth's basketball would also usher in an ice age.

Eight years have passed, and Los Angeles is hosting the annual All-Star event.

The fans were cheering wildly and the players on the field were performing to their heart's content.

Contrary to what experts predicted, basketball on Earth did not enter an ice age. Instead, it ushered in a new golden age. Xu Yong, Durant, Harden, Curry, and Leonard opened a new era.

Basketball technology is like human civilization. As long as there is fire, there is hope.

But at this time, Warner Animation was about to reach its end. After losing cartoon characters such as Bugs Bunny, they could no longer complete their revival.

In order to prevent Warner Animation from dying out, the president of Warner personally visited the new generation of rising stars with a nervous heart, hoping that they would challenge the monster planet, although he knew that doing so was a bit unreasonable.

But what he never expected was that the rising stars, led by Xu Yong, all agreed at the same time.

Because of the failure eight years ago, they also wanted to avenge the Earth team.

New challenges have arrived, and the world is excited.

However, one day before the game, the boss of Monster Planet resorted to the same old trick and wanted to plunder the abilities of the rising stars before the game.

But this time the rising stars used their own methods to avoid being plundered. For example, Durant used bath water to short-circuit the monster's machine, Curry dressed himself up as a child to trick the monster, Leonard's facial expression scared the monster, and as for Xu Yong, the monster found that it could not be plundered at all.

The monsters' plundering plan failed, but the monster boss was not angry. Instead, he remained full of confidence.

The next day, the day of the competition arrived. Because the rising stars still had their abilities, the people on Earth felt that they had a chance of victory.

But what they didn't expect was that the monster boss was well prepared. He had backed up the abilities of the superstars at that time eight years ago. The abilities of Barkley, Ewing, Boggs, Larry Johnson and others are still there.

The monster boss knows that the level of basketball on Earth is regressing, and he must win.

However, after the game really started, he found that something was wrong.

The new stars led by Xu Yong were not inferior to the monsters at the beginning, and even began to show their abilities after gradually adapting to the confrontation. Durant shot monster Ewing in the face, Leonard robbed monster Barkley, Harden shook off monster Old Lady, and Curry dunked over monster Bogues.

Facts have proved that basketball technology is constantly improving, including the physical fitness of players, and the saying that the past is more important than the present is not true.

They took the lead in the first half and the earthlings began to cheer. They already felt that victory was within reach.

However, in the second half, the appearance of one person plunged the people on Earth into fear.

Because the Monster Boss sent out his last and strongest weapon, Monster Jordan.

It turns out that although the monsters failed to plunder the rising stars last night, they successfully plundered Jordan's abilities.

And Monster Jordan not only has Jordan's abilities, he even has Jordan's perfect body.

Jordan successfully used his super fadeaway to single out Xu Yong, then dunked over Leonard and blocked Durant. The strength of the God of Basketball plus the enhancement of a monster made him the most perfect existence in the universe.

The Earth team has no hope.

But they still have hope.

Xu Yong realized the true meaning of [Zone] in desperation and became another Earth player to enter the white-hot space after Jordan. He began to lead the rising stars to counterattack, and at the last moment, he turned around and leaned back to face the monster Jordan to complete the lore.

The Earth team finally won the victory, and Bugs Bunny finally returned to Earth.

It's a very Hollywood-style script, but the biggest difference from the first one is that the animated characters have fewer roles. It's more like a basketball movie, and can be regarded as an improvement made by Warner based on the first one.

Moreover, this script does not involve any father-son topics, but instead expresses the inheritance of star players and basketball skills, which is bound to resonate with fans.

Of course, filming is only part of their job; the greater pleasure lies in the basketball competition after a day's work.

Because not only these people participated in the filming, Warner even invited stars such as Paul, Anthony, and George.

The stars all have their own things to do in the summer, so knowing there is such an opportunity to compete, they are naturally happy to come.

Then they all discovered one thing, Xu Yong became even stronger.

That strength does not come from new basketball techniques, but from stability.

Xu Yong's breakthroughs, shots, and changes in rhythm all give people a more free-spirited feeling.

Or to put it more vividly, they felt as if they were facing Jordan.

“No team is going to want to play us next year.”

Xu Yong’s words are still fresh in their minds, and now they have already felt it in advance.

…

By the end of August, the filming of the movie had been completed. Xu Yong did not return to Chicago, but went directly to Spain.

He will represent the national team in the Basketball World Cup in Spain, which is also the first Basketball World Cup.

Yao Ming will still travel with the Chinese men's basketball team, but not as a player, but as a team leader.

This is the first time that the men's basketball team competes without Yao Ming.

However, the Chinese men's basketball team still has four NBA players, including Xu Yong, Jeremy Lin, Yi Jianlian and Zhou Qi. In addition, they have Guo Ailun who performed well in the European league and Ding Yanyuhang who performed well in the NCAA. The overall strength is still strong.

In the end, the men's basketball team finished second. They lost to the Dream Team 12 in the final. Without Yao Ming's advantage in the interior, it was still difficult for them to defeat the Dream Team.

After the World Cup, Xu Yong did not return to China with the team immediately, but flew to Paris, France, where he needed to shoot a Dior perfume advertisement.

This was part of the itinerary, and Xu Yong didn't take it too seriously at first. After all, he had shot quite a few commercials over the years, and it was just about putting on makeup and taking photos, and doing a few actions at most.

But when he arrived, he found that it was not that simple, because he actually saw... Theron.

This time it's no longer a wallpaper in a window, but a real person, and it's Charlize Theron who has put on makeup and is ready to shoot a commercial.

How to say it, Xu Yong was frozen the moment he saw Charlize Theron.

Golden curly hair, smooth back, slender long legs, sexy figure, and finally that dignified and beautiful face.jpg.

From Megan Fox to Swift to Scarlett Johansson, Xu Yong has had in-depth contact with many actresses, but in terms of temperament, Theron is really unique. Your first reaction when you see her is appreciation of beautiful things.

Moreover, Charlize Theron is already 39 years old this year, older than Xu Yong was before his rebirth. It is not excessive for him to call her aunt now.

But with Sarron's skin and figure, I have to say, this auntie is really good.

Theron's commercial began filming soon.

She was wearing a golden silk long skirt and a black silk robe, and she walked forward in high heels. At this time, a golden ribbon fell from the front. She took it off with her right hand, and the silk robe slipped from her shoulders, revealing her smooth back. Then she kicked off her high heels, and her sexy long legs were wrapped around the ribbon. She grabbed the ribbon with her hands and began to climb up towards the light above her head.

She had really practiced it. It wasn't just a simple move. She climbed for a while and then pulled off her necklace in mid-air. The necklace fell to the ground and scattered into a ball, while she continued to climb up.gif.

There was no wirework during the whole process. I have to say, she was really bold and you couldn't feel her weak side at all.

But considering that she will film movies like "Mad Max: Fury Road" in the future, this seems normal.

At this time, the advertising director shouted "stop" and then raised his hand to signal "pass".

This advertisement can be passed in one go, this business ability is really extraordinary.

At this time, Theron was also ready to come down from the ribbon.

But at this moment, Xu Yong noticed that Charlize Theron seemed a little exhausted, but the other staff members did not notice this.

He didn't have time to remind her and just walked over quickly.

Before he could get there, Theron let go with a scream.

His powerful explosive power came into play at this time. He rushed down just before that, then opened his arms and caught the falling Theron.

There was a huge sense of impact when she first saw it. Although Charlize Theron was slender, she was 1.77 meters tall and weighed nearly 110 kilograms.

Fortunately, she was only climbing about two and a half meters high, not very high, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to catch her.

It was not until Xu Yong caught the person that the other staff members reacted and came over quickly.

Xu Yong put the frightened Charlize Theron down, and then the staff began to ask various questions about her condition.

Seeing this, Xu Yong also retreated and left with his men.

Just at this moment, Xu Yong felt someone was watching him from behind. He turned around and saw that it was Theron who had recovered from his shock and was looking at him with gratitude.

He nodded and continued to the next location to shoot his own commercial.

It was already evening when the advertising shoot was over. When Xu Yong came out of the venue, he found that Charlize Theron had changed into casual clothes and was waiting for him at the door.

"Thank you." Charlize Theron came here specifically to express her gratitude.

"It's just a small favor, don't take it too seriously." Xu Yong said with a smile.

"Do you have time? If you don't mind, I would like to invite you to dinner to express my gratitude." Theron invited warmly.

Xu Yong didn't want to be thanked at first, but it would be impolite to refuse someone, so he nodded in the end.

The two left the filming location, but what Xu Yong didn't expect was that Charlize Theron actually drove herself.

Moreover, when she put on sunglasses while driving, and the car drove out of the underground garage, the golden sunset shone on her face, it was like returning to the scene when she was shooting the commercial, and people couldn't help but admire her.

"Are you used to French food?" Just then, Theron asked.

Xu Yong then realized that he had been staring at the man for a while. He turned back and said, "You can try."

"If you're not used to it, I can cook Chinese food for you," Theron continued.

Xu Yong turned around again in surprise: "You can cook? No, you can cook Chinese food?"

He was really surprised. It's okay that you are so cool, but if you can also cook, how would other women survive?

"It's just a little bit, but I still suggest we go have French food."

It seems that Charlize Theron was mainly worried that he would not be able to get used to French food. After all, the main feature of French food is half-cooked or raw food. Snails and foie gras are the most classic, which most people cannot accept.

"Then let me try your cooking." Xu Yong made a choice. He was mainly curious.

Upon hearing this, Theron turned the car around and drove towards her home.

About half an hour later, they arrived at Theron's mansion on the outskirts of Paris.

It is not an ancient castle, but a very modern house, except that the architectural style has some classic French Gothic elements.

Theron went to the kitchen and he was shown around by the servant.

About an hour later, they arrived at the restaurant.

There was a table full of delicious dishes, of course only three of them were Chinese food made by Charlize Theron, and they were sweet and simple, including sweet and sour pork, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and shrimp with white vinegar. The rest were French dishes made by her family's chef.

Well, Theron is very down-to-earth, she really doesn't know much.

Of course, the dining table has a strong sense of ceremony, with candlelight and red wine.

"I live in Los Angeles most of the time and rarely go back to France, so there are not many ingredients here," Theron explained.

"You know, not everyone has the opportunity to taste the food cooked by Charlize Theron herself." Xu Yong is very good at speaking.

When Charlize heard this, she smiled and raised her glass of red wine to thank Xu Yong.

Xu Yong took a sip. The wine tasted pure and felt more upscale than the one he drank with David West.

"Is your hand okay?" Theron asked after putting down his glass.

"It's okay." Xu Yong shook his head. Even if Sharon fell from a height of ten meters, he could catch him. After all, he would not be hurt.

"But next time you shoot this kind of commercial, you should still take some safety measures." He then reminded her that if he hadn't been there today, Charlize Theron would have been injured.

"This commercial has been shot before, and there were (safety measures) at that time, but the shooting effect was not good, so it was later cancelled. And it was successful before and there was no problem. Today we are adding some details. Maybe I've been under too much pressure recently and my physical condition is not very good." Theron said while pressing her head.

"You must take care of your health no matter what, as it is the foundation of your career." Xu Yong suddenly realized and followed suit.

Charlize Theron smiled, and the two of them quickly started a conversation.

We talked about Chinese food, Chinese culture, South African stories, career and life.

Perhaps because they are of similar mental age, they have a lot to talk about.

This is also the biggest difference Xu Yong felt when communicating with those female stars before.

Moreover, Xu Yong could feel that Charlize Theron had a desire to confide in others, but this was normal, as all career-oriented women had some of that in mind.

As they talked more, they drank more and more.

Afterwards, Xu Yong couldn’t quite remember what happened next.

It seemed like he helped Charlize Theron back to her room to rest, and then he came out and found a sofa to sleep on.

But somehow, I seemed to fall asleep, and then I had a dream, and I only remember some vague fragments.

Then when he woke up the next day, he felt a headache. After he recovered, he saw that he was sleeping naked in the bed. The sun was shining on his butt. It should be almost noon.

After he sat up and calmed down for a while, more fragments began to emerge in his mind, finally stringing together the memories of last night.

Ten thousand words are omitted here.

This was purely an accident, he had more admiration for Theron, but the feeling last night was definitely different.

And both of them were so into the action that, just like when Theron was shooting a commercial, they didn’t take any protective measures.

Tried several times.

And call her auntie.

He shook his head, got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower, then put on his clothes and went downstairs.

When he went down, he found that Theron was not there, only the chef from yesterday.

Seeing him coming down, I went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for him.

He went outside to get some fresh air, but found a servant playing with a two-year-old child in the yard.

He was stunned when he saw this.

He doesn't have much impression about whether Theron is married or not.

If this were a married woman, he...

He didn't look at the child again, but turned around and prepared to leave.

But just at this moment, he saw Theron coming back from outside.

The two looked at each other, both looking a little embarrassed.

After all, it was just a meal, but who knew that we would end up eating something stupid.

After all, Xu Yong had been separated from Scarlett Johansson for more than half a year, but he didn't expect that the contrast between Charlize Theron's appearance after drinking and her actual appearance would be so great.

"Have you had breakfast?" But the Emperor of Sai was the Emperor of Sai after all, and he quickly returned to normal after the initial embarrassment.

"not yet."

"Let's eat together." Theron said as she walked over to the child and kissed him, then turned and walked inside.

Xu Yong was stunned for a moment, but still followed.

"Did you go out early?" Xu Yong asked curiously after sitting down.

"Well, there is an event in the morning." Theron replied with a smile.

Xu Yong felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. If he had known that she had work in the morning, he would not have done that last night. At least he would have been more restrained.

Then he thought of the kid in the yard.

"Is that your son?" he couldn't help asking.

Theron nodded.

Xu Yong was stunned on the spot.

Is Charlize Theron really a married woman?

But maybe they're divorced?

But the child is still so young, that's unlikely.

This, this, this, he made a big mistake!

"Jackson is the child I adopted two years ago."

Then, what Charlize Theron said next really made Xu Yong stunned again.

This ups and downs happened a bit quickly.

Xu Yong wanted to ask you if you have never been married. If you have never been married, then at 39, you are considered an old leftover woman.

But when I think about it, it seems a bit rude to ask this.

"I've never been married and I don't plan to have children, so I adopted one." But Charlize Theron was frank.

"That's not bad either." Xu Yong nodded. Although he didn't know why, everyone has their own life.

And since Theron said she didn't want children, she must have taken other measures last night.

After breakfast, Charlize Theron personally sent Xu Yong to the airport.

After getting on the plane, Xu Yong still felt that this trip to Paris was a little unreal.

The plane arrived in Shanghai, and the next day, David West also arrived in Shanghai.

He had promised the other party that he would be the other party's tour guide.

From the moment he stepped off the plane, West looked stunned.

Xu Yong took him around and West was like a child whose cognition was constantly being refreshed.

In the evening, Xu Yong even took him to a roadside barbecue stall.

It was fine at first, but once someone recognized them, the situation got a little out of control.

In the end, they had to grab their food and leave on the bus.

Then the two grown men pulled out a desk from the back seat of the car and drank and ate barbecue there.

"You know what? They keep telling us that China at night is the most unsafe place in the world," West said with emotion after taking a sip of beer.

Xu Yong smiled, picked up the wine jar and clinked it with West.

He has lived in the United States for so many years, so of course he knows this. Freedom of speech is actually a very abstract thing, because people's cognition is influenced by what they receive, and the means for ordinary people to receive things comes from the media, so the key is not whether the speech is a resource, but the content of the media reports.

"Now I think those words might not be completely wrong. At least..." West raised the skewer in his hand, "This thing is really dangerous."

After saying that, he took a big bite and couldn't help nodding.

Xu Yong couldn't help but laugh after seeing this. West had already mastered the wealth code of foreigners who were bloggers in China.

But he could indeed feel what West had gained from this trip.

He also wanted to go out more often.

After all, one-sided media reports are the same everywhere. He now has the ability to go out and see more of the world during the offseason, which can also make his new life more exciting.

Of course, that's next year's thing, and this year's offseason is coming to an end.

In two days he will return to the United States with West and start the team's formal training camp.

In the new season, the challenges they face are unprecedented, but it is also foreseeable that it will be the most exciting season.
